What DMs can learn from the new D&D movie
Hey friends! Here's my last piece of content about D&D: Honor Among Thieves, so those of you who are uninterested in it can breathe a sigh of relief 😂 I thought it might be fun to view the movie through the lens of a DM and see what lessons it can offer.What do you think —any good lessons I missed?

I did a 7-day D&D character development challenge
For this week's video, I tried something new — I created a 7-day challenge to deepen character development, and then I did the challenge myself and documented it!I have... no idea how people will respond to this, haha. Hopefully it won't totally bomb, because it was a lot of work 😅A post will go up here on...

Storied Weapons
As a sister collection to Storied Armor, these are magic weapons with origin stories!You can use those stories to give the items the weight of history, or ignore them and just use the mechanics. Download your PDF here.
Storied Armor
Magic items are fun, but magic items with a backstory? Sign me the heck up! This month, I wanted to create some weapons and armor that are more than just a +1 sword. Each of these magic armor items has an origin story, either historical or mythical. You're welcome to use those stories if you like them, or ignore th...

I watched Dungeons & Dragons (2000) so you don't have to
I'm sure everyone will have differing opinions on the new D&D movie, Honor Among Thieves, but I think we can all agree on one thing: It can't be worse than Dungeons & Dragons (2000).

This adventure taught me a critical GM skill
HI! It's 2am. That's why this doesn't have a thumbnail or a final title/description yet. But I figured I might as well let y'all watch it a few hours early, since god knows when I will wake up tomorrow after being up this late 😅Someday I will share the story of why I had to do this video all in one d...
Gelatinous Cutie (re-edit)
I re-edited some old Gelatinous Cutie photos today on a whim, because I've never been thrilled with the first set. Sometimes I find it useful to revisit old photos, both to implement what I've learned since originally editing them, and to consider how I'd wear & shoot this costume differently next time. Thi...
Comment Section has some concerns
These are less "bloopers" and more "Ginny uses the Comment Section t-shirt to vent about YouTube," but... here you go 😂
3 ways to find a tabletop gaming group
This is probably my most requested video topic! So I finally tackled it. Also, Comment Section is back!
Augury's new horns
Realized recently that I only had ONE still photo with Augury's new horns, and it was her calendar photo! So I snapped a few stills while shooting last week's skit.Even though these horns are much heavier (and thus can only be worn for about an hour before I start getting a truly killer headache), I absolutely ...
Just some Ediths!
Here are some quick stills and a few selfies from this week's skit! I tried a new eye makeup look for Edith and I kinda dig it. Plus I think I did a better job on her gnomish nose than I've ever done! (File under: things no one will notice but me, haha!)This also showcases what I'm thinking of canonically a...
Edith & Augury Bloopers
There wasn't much for this one, but my "demon baby" was so freakin' loud while I was trying to film this that I had to share it.Those of you who have been around for awhile might have heard about this before. I first discovered it when I worked at the renaissance festival. When I've had liquids but ...
If D&D characters made dating shows
This, like many of my creations, began with me making a bunch of stupid puns. It ended that way, too 😂Tomorrow's video! I haven't really done anything like this on my channel before, so I hope people are into it.
The Grasping Mother and her Lost Children
This month, I wanted to create not just a monster, but a whole story — a villain with some fun mechanics, as well as some thematic minions that could create an interesting, dynamic combat. And of course, who doesn't love a good lair? Thus the grasping mother and her lost children were born!I was originally planni...
Bloopers — House Rules
I almost titled this "noise, hair, and other worries," but let's be real, there are no other worries in these bloopers 😅Here are some bloopers from this week's "House Rules" video!
Could the wrong house rules RUIN your game?
Don't panic, but... maybe?This video is me sort of remaking a video I made in 2021 that just didn't do that well. I thought, well, the advice from the video was useful, I just didn't package it properly to reach people — so why not try again? I've taken a lot of the content from that video, trimmed it...

Wyrmwood MGT Review!
Hey friends, full sponsored spot this week — Wyrmwood asked me to review the modular gaming table they gifted me a little over a year ago. I honestly don't know if people will find this interesting or not, but I did my best! The Kickstarter launches tomorrow.

Meet Na'Krasha [preview]
Hey friends! YouTube is starting to monetize Shorts in February, which is great news, because I've enjoyed making Shorts like my "Conversations with my Dice" and "Mermaid Girlfriend," but it was difficult to justify the time they required when they weren't earning any money. This means that you&...
GM Burnout: Bloopers
CW: Lots and lots of cursing 😅Okay, people are always asking for bloopers, and I'm usually like... y'all, I promise you don't want to see me getting mad at myself and/or my equipment and cursing a lot, which is what most of my bloopers are! But this time I tried just grabbing anything blooper-worthy whil...
